What just normal drinking glasses? In whimsical magic castle?

Lmao I want nothing to do with that series anymore for a variety of reasons but if this is actually a screenshot of the utterly unnecessary remakes then that is pathetic. I'm pretty sure the source material said goblets. Most meals were described as tables full of food such as the left. Not a cafeteria plate that wouldn't look out of place in a modern school. Soulless remake cashgrab I hope it flops so hard it just basically marks the end of HP in the mainstream. Nobody asked for this.

In the books, the school putting out a huge feast for the students is supposed to show the stark contrast of starvation and abuse Harry went through prior to Hogwarts. If this is a sign of how little effort they're putting in I'm thrilled.. Let it bomb and bomb hard. Terfs don't deserve our time or money

It's because it was offensive to Americans seeing children being fed at school

They need the money to eliminate all the trans people

Just remember folks - if you really really can't go without it, the only ethical way of watching Harry Potter is by donning your hat and parrot. 🦜

Harry Potter and the Measures of Austerity

Depressing brown on grey cinematography strikes again, even with Harry Potter

start of term feast vs regular morning breakfast?

but also why does the newer one look like actual school meals lol😭

Temu Potter

That’s not magical at all! That’s like normal school😆

Austerity Potter

Transphobes starving misfit children is nothing new.

Because HP is a role model for poor children, and poor children shouldn't have the expectation of getting a feast ever. They should see the bare minimum school lunch and think it looks like a horn of plenty because US schools have been shutting down and reducing school meal programs. Real students don't get anything.

I think the most offensive detail is the tray. In the books the meals are teleported directly onto the tables so you can stay put with your plate and just get whatever you like. No need for a tray to carry your food to your seat at the table

Do the wizards also gas their bananas? The choice of fruit here implies that wizards are bound to the limitations of modern farming and container shipping. The common prevalence of bananas in the real world boils down to a pile of technical limitations on growing and importing fruit.

1. Unlike most other common grocery store fruits they are tropical. Which means that they can be grown under normal conditions year round. It also means they need to be imported which would normally make them expensive
2. Bannanas can be picked green, shipped refrigerated, and ripened under ethylene gas (tomatoes and apples might also be in this category). This enables bannanas to be transported by ordinary container ships rather than needing to be done by air. This also enables some amount of stockpiling. This cuts costs a lot such that bannanas can be cheaper than local produce unlike most other imported produce that needs to be flown in.

I think what people miss here is that this is Americanisation that is the norm in most US movies. While the original movies were distributed by Warner Brothers, the producers were largely British, so were many other important people in the making of that movie. So they apparently stayed their ground in staying closer to the British source material.

In the remake those safeguards are gone. People just realise it because they see the contrast to the original. But look at other US movies, so much of it has fantasy scenarios that are still very "USified", to not confuse the US audience too much. This is the most obvious when Hollywood takes up a successful foreign movie and makes a complete US "remake".

"This year's feast has been graciously provided by our sister school across the pond, the Gun Violence School of Magic! Their funding was cut again this year, so please be polite."

I has to check for myself that this is real. It is.

Is this real? I thought it was a joke. Is it because they don't want school kids knowing what a big school meal looks like?

Harry Potter joins the navy.

I wonder if they went out of their way to hire kids they “know” won’t grow up to be gay.

Did anyone ask for this to be remade?

This image makes me kind of wonder how crap a remake of the dinner meal scene from Hook would come out.
